What Louise Limar likes about The Spire And Spoke:
Found this place by chance unusual kind of pub, it's either pizza and beer or coffee and cake. Limited seating inside, lots of seating outside little cabin type places and marquees/tipis all sheltered from the cold. Would be lovely on a summer day. Beautiful views around. Plenty of parking friendly staff. Price per person: £1–10 View all feedback.

What Catherine Mears doesn't like about The Spire And Spoke:
Stopped off for quick pizza . Told 20 minutes . Pizza took one hour and not even particularly hot. Five people working in Pizza area but could not keep up with modest demand . Ordered a pint of drink and got a half pint and charged for a full pint. Found this out when going to get a second drink as still waiting . Was offered a refund but I really couldn’t be bothered. Very unimpressed . Needless to say we won’t be r... View all feedback.

"We had a pretty terrible meal here. The deep fried starters were okay, as was the salad, but anything made ‘fresh’ was a mistake. Bread rolls burnt on top and not cooked in the middle, soup was brown water, Sunday lunch offered a dry crumbly...meat with a mix of completely uncooked veg and total mush that slid through the prongs of the fork. We ordered some side dishes and puddings that never came at all and we had to ask to have them taken off the bill at the end. No one asked if our food was okay, so presumably the staff know it isn’t. It was a special occasion, but they were late showing us to our table and then rushed us at the end of the meal because they had mistimed it for the next booking. I think it would have been hard for them to make it any less ‘special’. The play area is dangerous, with rotten wood and broken play equipment. I can see they’re very busy at the moment, but getting a carpenter in to fix things up needs to be a priority. It’s not safe. It’s such a nice building and location, it was a real shame about the food and the maintenance of the garden. If you visit, stick to drinks and maybe a plate of chips. I don’t understand where the good reviews have come from."
